First for example of a sharpe ãgle let A. stãd & B.C shal be y^e lyne assigned. Thẽ do I make a triangle, by adding B.C, as a thirde side to those other ij. which doo include the ãgle assigned, and that triãgle is D.E.F, so y^t E.F. is the line appointed, and D. is the angle assigned. Then doo I drawe a portion of a circle about that triangle, from the one ende of that line assigned vnto the other, that is to saie, from E. a long by D. vnto F, whiche portion is euermore greatter then the halfe of the circle, by reason that the angle is a sharpe angle. But if the angle be right (as in the second exaumple you see it) then shall the portion of the circle that containeth that angle, euer more be the iuste halfe of a circle. And when the angle is a blunte angle, as the thirde exaumple dooeth propounde, then shall the portion of the circle euermore be lesse then the halfe circle. So in the seconde example, G. is the right angle assigned, and H.K. is the lyne appointed, and L.M.N. the portion of the circle aunsweryng thereto. In the third exaumple, O. is the blunte corner assigned, P.Q. is the line, and R.S.T. is the portion of the circle, that containeth that blũt corner, and is drawen on R.T. the line appointed. THE XXXII. CONCLVSION. To cutte of from a circle appointed, a portion containyng an angle equall to a right lyned angle assigned. When the angle and the circle are assigned, first draw a touch line vnto that circle, and then drawe an other line from the pricke of the touchyng to one side of the circle, so that thereby those two lynes do make an angle equall to the angle assigned. Then saie I that the portion of the circle of the contrarie side to the angle drawen, is the parte that you seke for. _Example._ [Illustration] A. is the angle appointed, and D.E.F. is the circle assigned, frõ which I must cut away a portiõ that doth contain an angle equall to this angle A. Therfore first I do draw a touche line to the circle assigned, and that touch line is B.C, the very pricke of the touche is D, from whiche D. I drawe a lyne D.E, so that the angle made of those two lines be equall to the angle appointed. Then say I, that the arch of the circle D.F.E, is the arche that I seke after. For if I doo deuide that arche in the middle (as here is done in F.) and so draw thence two lines, one to D, and the other to E, then will the angle F, be equall to the angle assigned. THE XXXIII. CONCLVSION. To make a square quadrate in a circle assigned. Draw .ij. diameters in the circle, so that they runne a crosse, and that they make .iiij. right angles. Then drawe .iiij. lines, that may ioyne the .iiij. ends of those diameters, one to an other, and then haue you made a square quadrate in the circle appointed. _Example._ [Illustration]
